  1. Well for once everything worked out for me as I had to go home from Port Loring this week and the 3 days I won't be there are wet and cold am going back up on thursday when it is warm and dry. For once I don't mind that the kid can't figure out how to run the lawn mower. vance
  2. I have tried them all and the best is Lucas injector cleaner but it is not cheap.CTC and most places carry it. vance
  3. visit any time I will be there most of the summer. vance
  4. Used to be a lot of white fish in the area but were over fished and you don't see many now.the pic of the moose must have been taken just down stream from wilson lake on the river.and that was my smokercraft at white birches. vance
  5. That boat is mine and I am a seasonal at the park and I was there and I am sure that I even talked to you,should have had my OFC hat on.The park owner is just getting over cancer treaments and I was the guy cutting the grass all the time.Fishing wasn't all that good just as well as I spent a lot of time fixing my trailer. vance
  6. I have pictures of me and my dad fishing 50 years ago and I can still remember every fish we caught -okay I caught and he took off the rockies and put a new worm on- but to this day I am not sure who had more FUN vance
  7. I have used amsoil for three years now and today I checked my plugs and put them back in -the same plugs for 3 years-I use my motor alot and the plugs look almost as good as the new set I have waiting to go in. vance
  8. It is funny and sad to read about fisher-hunter guys talking about how the big event screws up that season.A good friend of mine spent a whole year figuring out the perfect date so that it wouldn't interfere with either.Guess what -son #1 came along before pickeral opening and now 8 years later he is BEGGING me to help find a small boat to take the kids fishing even though he doesn't have time to go with me even if we take the kids. And I have to admit the ex didn't like fishing so for 15 years i didn't get to go and my son has never been in my boat and never been fishing at all-sigh. Another good friend has owned a cottage for 15 years and never gets to go fishing and his son is asking why he never took him fishing (to busy working on the cottage-Taj Mahal). What am I trying to say - fishing is the perfect way to spend family time It is just that not everyone knows that. The best times I had as a kid where fishing with my parents so remember to take your kids fishing no matter what. vance
  9. Just remember the oil ratio is for wide open throtle running,if you are trolling all the time or running slow you don't need that much oil.I have a 40 merc oil injected that I have taken back to the dealer twice for low oil consumption and he says you are not driving it fast enough to need alot of oil and he is right because if I run WOT the oil tank level plummets. vance
  10. They key question here is HOW OLD are your motors? if they are pre 1960 I wouldn't go 100 to 1 maybe 50 to 1 but no less.If the 2 hp is air cooled I would stick with the ratio that you have been using even though you might switch to synthetic. Check out this thread from Iboats on mix ratios. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=158072 vance
  11. Don't forget that almost 50% of the cost of gas is various forms of TAXATION vance
  12. Well I get to baby sit the neighbours Burmese mountain dog about once a month and even though the houses are identical she is still confused about things.The owner says that she is out of sorts for a couple of days after she goes home.So just be PATIENT and let the dogs mix,from what I have seen the other two they will be glad of another member of the family. vance
  13. I was always told if you don't have anything USEFULL to say don't say anything at all.If I want to get posts it would be simple to say nice fish,nice boat etc.Maybe I could even ask the same question thats already been asked 10 times.Frankly I read the posts ,I know how to use the search feature and unless I can constructively add to the post I don't chime in. It would be terible to read one of moosebunks posts with blurred backrounds and deleted river names.I realize that in the GTA things are a little different but it doesn't take much of an effort to find out where everyone is fishing even if they try to hide it. No one has an exclusive honey hole there is always someone who has the same one. As usual it is the 5% of the population who SCREW it up for everyone else and we are the ones who suffer.I could go on but don't want and look like CANADAVE. vance
  14. Last year I bought a Salus Marine fishermans PFD and I love it . Its more of a kayakers Pfd that is very comfortable to wear and after a bit you forget you have it on. The fisherman is not listed on the web site but is much like the comfort fit model. http://www.salusmarine.com/home.html vance
  15. The exact link for decals is http://ofnstore.com/ofnstore/index.php?pag...t&Itemid=26 vance
  16. Here is a link to what you have to do to reawaken that motor of yours. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=158086 http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=167352 Those old 35 were tough motors and I bet it won't take much to purring again. vance
  17. Its been slow for most of the day,just not sure if it is the site or the internet volume from that from that area that is the cause. vance
  18. I use one of those encased in a plastic case mulitpurpose tool kits.It has all the tools tape and odds and ends that you will ever need ,and a prop wrench just in case. vance
  19. My aluminum boat manual says the transom MUST rest on the trailer bunks as the weight of the the motor when trailering will cause warping of the keel where the bunks end before the transom. vance
  20. This is so so sad that someone knows that their child is going to die soon.My heart goes out to Lauren and her family,I just wish that there was more that I could possibly do. vance
  21. Okay so WHO are the sens and what is the second round-I know golf isn't usually a team sport so this must be like a nations cup vance
  22. Had a side finder on my last fish finder it was a nice GIMMICK but spent more time screwing around with it than anything and it never did get me on to any fish,but then again most fish are smarter than me vance
  23. The park you refer to must be just N. of Rossland ,I have seen people catching fish from there to Taunton and from there to Conlin Rd. NO BODY tresspasses on to Windfield Farms but I have seen people fishing north of there. vance
  24. Well mine came a little while ago and was going to post but you guys beat me to It.Thanks to everyone for the great package. Vance
  25. Which version of nero do you have? vance
